Buy cream.
Beat in a butter churn until you have butter. The liquid left over is buttermilk.

Yes it is but the commercial butter milk is then cultured, making it thick and lumpy and this is what the OP is wanting.

Cultured buttermilk is made with a starter;various bacteria which convert the lactose to lactic acid.You can also use commercial buttermilk as a starter.

Is this what you want to do wyndra?

Destitute Gourmet has a recipe, but it still starts with bought buttermilk. Once you've bought it once, you have a 'starter' for further batches.

Ingredients: 2 cups milk and 1/2 cup buttermilk.

Method: Heat milk to blood temperature - 37 C - and stir in buttermilk. Transfer mixture to clean jar and shake well. Set aside in warm place for 12-24 hours. When thickened transfer to plastic container with tight-fitting lid. Keeps for 7-10 days.Use some from this batch for the next one...

Here's another version:

2 litres whole milk
100ml cultured buttermilk

Heat the milk to 72 degrees Celsius, cool down to 40 deg in water bath.

Add buttermilk, stir well. Pour the mixture into a large porcelain/glass/stainless steel bowl, cover, and leave for 48 hours at room temperature (ideal is 18-20deg Celsius) .Stir well and refrigerate.
